Christian Bale and Ridley Scott's Biblical Tale Looks Pretty Rad

Oct 1 2014 - 10:18am

Are you ready for some biblically apocalyptic business to go down? Christian Bale [1] is starring as Moses in Ridley Scott's epic Exodus: Gods and Kings, and he is looking good — as are the special effects — in the trailer. He's up against his childhood friend the Pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton, sporting a lot of eyeliner) in the battle to free Egyptian slaves. If you know the tale about Moses, you know the story doesn't end there. It's Moses's job to rally a ton of people to flee before the plagues arrive, meaning he has some locusts to swat and a Red Sea to part, a little of which we actually get to see in this trailer. I'm digging the special effects, and I can't wait to see Aaron Paul as Joshua, plus more of Sigourney Weaver. The movie opens Dec. 12, and you can take a look at the full trailer now.
